Anyone actually used the G9 for office work in addition to gaming? Like the idea of splitting the screens, but wondering if I’d break my neck looking around all day.

It's probably close to 2 years old at this point and been chasing some funky issues, think some of my ram is actually gone faulty. Or just Tarkov being acunt and randomly does poorly on otherwise good machines. I did hope to get one of the new gen cards though next year to pair it with. Would wait for monitor but going crazy with just 1 after the other ancient dell I had literally popped and caught fire.

Wonder what my chances are of either of my interested monitors going on any major sale. The amazon exclusive not sure if that would make it a higher likelyhood of an amazon sale vs not since it's limited availability. Probably a waste of time trying to save $15, not like $380 would drop to $320 or something.

I have only had experience owning with Samsung, LG, Benq and Asus. My newest asus has zero IPS glare which seems to be what so people have a problem with when it comes to IPS monitors. I maintain decent frames in any game on ultra settings (but in FPS I always set it lower for max frames). I’d maybe wait and get a LG, asus,alien ware, or Dell on sale unless that has stellar trustworthy reviews.
I saw this post. For budget sounds pretty legit /shrug

I'm in the exact same situation, and want to get a cheap 27" , 1440p, 75hz at least, and use it vertically next to my 34" ultra-wide.

The AW3420DW is $839.99 now on the Dell member site. Crazy price. I just scooped the 49” G9 for $950 after cash back / gov’t rate. Really solid prices, now just give me my fucking 3080

I was looking for another monitor and made some research and what I gathered is that HDR 400 is by and large no different than no HDR at all. The screens that have both 4k and a HDR that actually makes a difference are pretty damn expensive for what I have seen. In the end, I went for the "wait & see" route and bought a cheap gaming monitor and will make a substantial upgrade when I actually have a 4k / HDR source...

Very nice!! I got mine in today as well, and I realized the LG I got doesn't go vertical. I also forgot that I have my ultra-wide on risers, so I need to get something to prop this one up on to make it the same height.
Curious, where do you sit in relation to your screens? Is your nose right on the middle point between the 2 screens? Basically at the seam? Or do you sit off to the side and turn your head to look at the 27"?

My nose is about 4-5 inches to the right of the middle of the Ultrawide.
I do have to move my head a bit to see the far end of the 27.
I specifically did not want to sit at the seam.

Okay so this is probably the.... 6th time I've been in this thread in the past 2 years asking for advice on a new monitor and never pulled the trigger, but this time... this time it's gonna be different!
Anyone got a good list/review site that isn't something like pcmag.com with info I can check out? Or a straight up recommendation? Pretend I'm willing to spend up to $1500 on a sweet ass monitor setup (single, ultrawide, double monitor, whatever). Currently I have a 1080ti but will be upgrading to a 3080 once stock becomes more available.
